i have to back up TPG as they are my ISP. :wave: It really depends what you use the net for. I use it mainly to download prons and other stuff so its ok with ping times as it provides me unlimited download. Best month was 40 gig :D :D ;)

anyway, i have to also admit that playing online games gets crappy ping times so it really depends what you use it for.

i live in narre warren now...and i have foxtel as well as adsl, so optus tv i not sure of casue they have there own cable..but adsl you should be fine jsut about anywahere....

i have unlimeted dload on the adsl with dodo..and seriously, NO TROUBLE whatsoever..AND with NO contract is their standard way for $65 a month i think

dart is good for ADSL... as long as your exchange supports it. I'm with pacific atm and they've got mad speeds, however its not unlimited, I've got a 10gig cap per month and that's during off peak, during peak time I've got a 1 gig cap.

Which suits me fine coz I leechzor during the nighttime

i use iinet, as some1 said b4 , go to the whirlpool site, its got everything you'll need there if either you want adsl or cable. narre warren im pretty sure offer both cable and adsl, depends if ur north/south though i guess. "i think" you said it was a new area? or new housing estate? so you could be unlucky and be on as earlier was mentioned a rim or pair gain. bad luck if you are :) . i just got adsl today and im in hampton park (right next to narre) and everything seems good.

firstly, telstra ****ing blows. had them out the other day to install a line.. waited for 6 hours and they never showed up or even called. When I asked for a refund the girl said it wasn't their policy... so i asked, why is it your policy to charge me if im late with my bill, but I cant charge you when your late....

secondly, whirlpool is your friend!

thirdly, i have bigpond unlim adsl ($100 a month) and also tel.pacific adsl unlim ($80 a month). Only been on tel.pac for 1 weeek now and its good for the price.

Been reasonably happy with telstra adsl apart from when the phone line was hit by lightening and blew up my computer through the modem. They told us that any damage past our front door is our problem, the other side is theirs. The week after that we were hit again and the phone cable fried under the driveway. They then told us anywhere on our property is our responsibility, and after a 1 1/2 month fight with no phone lines or internet they finally agree to fix it and pay for it....

I guess I would have had the same problem if I had another net connection as Telstra has a monopoly over the lines... but i think my point is, dont use them as they are the biggest liars I have ever had to deal with. Im glad I sold my shares and made a good profit.

also SLYWPN - can you please tell "Sue" from W.A call centre she is the dumbest bitch I have ever had to talk to on the phone ever... and if she tells me to call "AAPT" once more im going to really ****ing crack it

(long story but i had a fault with my line and got this dumb lady who kept telling me it was an AAPT number and to call them - i repeated nearly 100 times that I have my telstra bill in front of me. She finally put me on to her manager when I told her she was the most retarded ****wit I have ever had to deal with in my life... when i got on to her supervisor she fixed my problem in 15 secs)

congrats on the house try and find the local exchange and see if your 3 klms from it any more and your like me isdn or satelite isdn is bearable but not real cheap . I"m 5 klm from the exchange. also those new estates are great for testign cars out :0 I love it

cheers

have you got your car back yet? if so how is it

hehe u do realise a LOT of companies resell telstra ADSL... the number of times I've spoken to ppl who've changed from telstra to iprimus coz its a better service... bollox...

wood

it isent a new housing estate, the house is 3 years old.

i had a lightening strike blow up my computer through the phone line also in qld and which blew up the whole junction box also. If u think telstra are farked, try ringing the dell (my work computer) helpline, it goes to india, after 1 hour on the phone trying to explain to the guy that qld is not driving distance away from vic (so i could get the computer fixed) i still got nowhere.

turbo had to be sent back on the 23rd to get the flange machined out a bit more and modified so the exhaust housing wouldnt toch the block. Hopefully get it all sorted before new years

oh i think i need to see a doctor! i cant keep my rage in when dealing with morons any more.

I went to pacific fair myer (qld) for stock take sale today and picked up some shirts at $41.95 with 30% off. Got to the counter and it came up as $49.95. Tell the lady what the deal is and she starts telling me that she only just started so how is she meant to know.. so i say thats cool, just mark them at the right price... then she refused and said i would have to go to another counter.. so im like WTF.. in the end she called security and her manager.. haha... got it all sorted and made her look like a ****... the whole time my 75yo dad is standing with me saying nothing, and this dumb bitch starts abusing him too! argghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..

not necessarily some larger ISP have boxes at exchanges in metro areas and use this. There's even an ISP in rural adelaide offering ADSL where testra don't by setting up secondhand US boxes (since the US has a shiteload of ADSL and is years ahead of us)

    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
    • You have no idea how many goddamn boxes I received these past three months haha Most have been put to use by now though, luckily
    • Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
    • Regardless of neglect or incompetence, fixing either is tedious and annoying. Most of the neglect on my car is definitely rust. I hope I can at least pass inspections later on and they won't fail the car due to slightly corroded hardlines. I was generous with rust converter and wax and it looks ok, most lines in the rear are hard to see properly anyways.  Definitely will test them though to make sure they don't rupture under pressure, in that case the car isn't going anywhere this year.
